      From the <a class="ulink" href="http://live.gnome.org/Vala" target="_top">Vala
      homepage</a> itself: <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">Vala is a new programming language
      that aims to bring modern programming language features to GNOME
      developers without imposing any additional runtime requirements
      and without using a different ABI compared to applications and
      libraries written in C.</span>”</span>
    </p>
<p>
      The syntax of Vala is similar to C#. The available compiler
      translates Vala into GObject C code. It can also compile
      non-GObject C, using plain C API.
